Can I Make An Npc Have A Default Facial Expression Other Than Neutral?

[Mud]

I'd like to make an NPC that's always smiling in the CK. I know I can add different facial expressions to specific lines of dialogue, but can I make them have an expression when just standing around, as well?

I think under AI Data there's a setting for "Mood" where you can set things like Aggression, Confidence and Morality. Set that to Happy and it should make them smile by default.

Ah, I thought I saw something like that before! So it was under AI Data. Thanks a bundle!

I have Ningheim followers. Their default mood is neutral.

If I go into console and target them, I can type "setAV mood 3" and that changes their mood to happy.

 

Can I make this their permanent mood or do you have to go into CK to do that?

 

Is Mood something that changes in the normal course of the game? 

If mood is supposed to change, I'd like them to have Happy as their default mood.

I'm not 100% sure but if you set Actor Values through the console, they never will be saved. If you set them via script, they will be saved.
